CRUMB-FRIED CHICKEN OR ROAD ROLLER CHICKEN

CRUMB-FRIED
CHICKEN OR ROAD ROLLER CHICKEN

This dish got its
name only because the pieces of chicken breasts used in its preparation were
cut lengthwise and then flattened with a cleaver or Rolling Pin. The Chicken
eventually looked as if it was flattened by a heavy object such as a “Steam
Roller or Road Roller”.  This is a very
subtly flavoured dish with only a hint of seasoning.

Ingredients

4
chicken breasts (skinless and boneless)

1
teaspoon pepper powder

1
teaspoon paprika

1
teaspoon dried or freshy chopped mint  or
parsley flakes

Salt
to taste

3
or 4 tablespoons butter or oil to fry

3
tablespoons plain flour

2
Eggs beaten

1
cup breadcrumbs

 

Slice
each chicken breast with a large knife or cleaver horizontally, so that you get
8 pieces.

Flatten
each piece with a mallet or rolling pin.

Season
the flattened chicken with a little of the pepper powder, salt, paprika and
keep aside for 15 minutes

Coat
each piece of chicken breast with the flour and keep aside

Now
season the breadcrumbs with the remaining pepper, salt, paprika, parsley / mint
and any other seasoning that you like including some cheese powder

Heat
the butter oil in a nonstick pan till nice and hot

Dip
each piece of chicken in the beaten egg then coat well with the breadcrumbs.

Place
each coated piece in the hot oil or butter and fry the chicken pieces on both sides
on medium heat till tender and a nice golden colour

Serve
with a nice salad or with any seasoned rice or bread.

(Alternately the
chicken can be baked in an oven using the same recipe)
